Nicolas Maigret / DISNOVATION.ORG

Nicolas Maigret exposes the internal workings of media, through an exploration of their dysfunctions, limitations or failure thresholds which he develops into immersive, ambiguous and critical artworks. He initiated disnovation.org, a working group which develops situations of disturbance, speculation, and debate, challenging the dominant ideology of technological innovation and stimulating the dissemination of alternative narratives. He teaches at Parsons Paris and co-edited The Pirate Book, an anthology on media piracy.

DISNOVATION.ORG is a working group based in Paris. At the crossroads between contemporary art, research and hacking, the collective develops situations of disturbance, speculation, and debate, challenging the dominant ideology of technological innovation and stimulating the emergence of alternative narratives. They recently edited The Pirate Book, an anthology on media piracy. Their work has been presented internationally at venues such as the Palais de Tokyo, transmediale, ISEA, FILE and the Chaos Communication Congress.
